2005 CR-V EX auto, 5000 miles on odometer Drove from central CT to Western PA and back -- 1177 miles People, luggage etc weighed approx 600 lbs Tires at 32 psi Avg mpg for entire trip was 27.18 Best stretch was 335 all-highway miles with cruise control set at 65 in which we avg 31.6 mpg. Minor note: The only thing that bugs me about this car, and it shows up more on a long trip, is the storage pockets in the door. The top "pocket" is annoying because it has no bottom and interferes with access to the second pocket under it. I find it hard to dig stuff out of the second pocket, because it seems too narrow/deep. Good thing the little center tray is handy and there's a separate cranny for the cell phone..

We bought an '05 CRV-SE back in July. It now has a little over 4,000 miles on it, but I'm still a bit frustrated with the mileage. I was thinking it would improve over time, but so far it's remained pretty much the same. We've been getting 22mpg ever since we got it wavering only a mpg difference either way occasionally. My wife is the primary driver and she is most definitely NOT a heavy-footed driver. Our driving is mostly suburbs/highway. Her daily commute in particularl is mostly interstate and rural roads so I was expecting her mileage to be closer to the highway rating than the city rating. We love the vehicle overall. I'm actually thinking about getting an older used one for myself. But I have been a bit frustrated with the mileage aspect as this was a major consideration when we bought the vehicle. |

Replying to: saabgirl (Oct 20, 2005 12:12 pm) I think it is a door handle, not pocket. I have 2005 EX and I only have a pocket on the bottom, no pocket with no bottom.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Oct 28, 2005 8:58 am) ... except the door handle is right above the bottomless "pocket". I just wonder what the designers had in mind. Granted it's a pretty picayune concern, far outweighed by the very favorable mpg I've been consistently getting..

Replying to: jjd2 (Sep 14, 2005 7:59 am) Did you noticed an improvement in MPG since you bought the car? Listed is 22-29 MPG....far from real life driving...

I have a 2002 CR-v EX with Automatic and 64k miles. I have taken several trips from Dallas to Colorado Springs, and on these trips, have averaged 28-33 mpg with A/C on. Around Dallas, I average 19-23 mpg with A/C. Over the years, my milage has gone down. I think it may have to do with the new tires that I put on the vehicle, the Goodyear TripleTred. Great tires for traction, but noisy.

I was getting about 20 mpg. I do 95% city driving with lots of lights. I have used Goodyear Triple Treads since the first week. (Very hard ride but good traction) I recently changed to Mobile 1 synthetic of the right value and a top Purotator (As I remember) filter. At the same time, the change to part Ethanol gas and cold weather hit NJ. Plus my battery was defective and replaced. My mileage has dropped from 20, down to about 16 mpg. Does this make sense or could I have a problem? I don't carry much cargo or people as a rule. Tires are inflated properly. I am at a loss.
